We investigate the large-scale circulation (LSC) of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection in a large box of aspect ratio $\Gamma =32$ for Rayleigh numbers up to $Ra=10^9$ and at a fixed Prandtl number $Pr=1$. A conditional averaging…
The problem of an accurate Eulerian-Lagrangian modeling of inertial particle dispersion in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of turbulent wall-bounded flows is addressed. We run Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) for turbulent channel flow at…
The effect of grid resolution on large eddy simulation (LES) of wall-bounded turbulent flow is investigated. A channel flow simulation campaign involving systematic variation of the streamwise ($\Delta x$) and spanwise ($\Delta z$) grid…
We present a framework to calculate the scale-resolved turbulent Prandtl number $Pr_t$ for the well-mixed and highly inertial bulk of a turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard mesoscale convection layer at a molecular Prandtl number $Pr=10^{-3}$. It…
Direct numerical simulations (DNS) are one of the main ab initio tools to study turbulent flows. However, due to their considerable computational cost, DNS are primarily restricted to canonical flows at moderate Reynolds numbers, in which…
The progress in our understanding of several aspects of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection is reviewed. The focus is on the question of how the Nusselt number and the Reynolds number depend on the Rayleigh number Ra and the Prandtl number…
We conduct direct numerical simulations for turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard (RB) convection, driven simultaneously by two scalar components (say, temperature and salt concentration) with different molecular diffusivities, and measure the…
The shock induced mixing of two gases separated by a perturbed interface is investigated through Large Eddy Simulation (LES) and Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS). In a simulation, physical dissipation of the velocity field and species mass…
We propose a phenomenological model for thermal convection at high Rayleigh numbers. It hypothesizes existence of a high-Reynolds-number turbulent boundary layer near each horizontal plate, which is shown to be convective. The convective…
Turbulent superstructures in horizontally extended three-dimensional Rayleigh-B\'enard convection flows are investigated in controlled laboratory experiments in water at Prandtl number $Pr = 7$. A Rayleigh-B\'enard cell with square…
Rapidly rotating Rayleigh-B\'enard convection admits a class of exact steady single-mode solutions describing high-amplitude convection cells. Using a matched asymptotic analysis in the high-Rayleigh-number limit, we obtain a rigorous…
The use of extended surfaces find wide range of applications in heat transfer devices for achieving heat transfer augmentation like gas turbine blade cooling and nuclear reactor core since the last few decades. So, understanding the…
We report on direct numerical simulations of two-dimensional, horizontally periodic Rayleigh-B\'enard convection, focusing on its ability to drive large-scale horizontal flow that is vertically sheared. For the Prandtl numbers ($Pr$)…
We measured Reynolds numbers R_e of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection over the Rayleigh-number range 2 times 10^8 < R < 10^11 and Prandtl-number range 3.3 < sigma < 29 for cylindrical samples of aspect ratio Gamma = 1. For R < R_c = 3…
Simulation of turbulent flows at high Reynolds number is a computationally challenging task relevant to a large number of engineering and scientific applications in diverse fields such as climate science, aerodynamics, and combustion.…
This paper studies the large-eddy simulation (LES) of isothermal turbulent channel flows. We investigate zero-equation algebraic models without wall function or wall model: functional models, structural models and mixed models. In addition…
We report results for the temperature profiles of turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection (RBC) in the interior of a cylindrical sample of aspect ratio $\Gamma \equiv D/L = 0.50$ ($D$ and $L$ are the diameter and height respectively).…
In this paper, we extend Grossmann and Lohse's (GL) model [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 86}, 3316 (2001)] for the predictions of Reynolds number (Re) and Nusselt number (Nu) in turbulent Rayleigh-B\'{e}nard convection (RBC). Towards this…
Turbulent Rayleigh-B\'enard convection displays a large-scale order in the form of rolls and cells on lengths larger than the layer height once the fluctuations of temperature and velocity are removed. These turbulent superstructures are…
We present high-resolution direct numerical simulation studies of turbulent Rayleigh-Benard convection in a closed cylindrical cell with an aspect ratio of one. The focus of our analysis is on the finest scales of convective turbulence, in…
